I think I got it.

opacityController = thisComp.layer("Soundkey 01").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 1") ;

if ((opacityController > 0) & (opacityController < 20)) {

ease(opacityController, 0, 60);
}else{ 0; }

Got it.

opacityController = thisComp.layer("mover").transform.position[0];
range = 96;
min = (index-1)*range;
max = (index+1)*range;

if ((opacityController > min) && (opacityController < max)) 100 else 0;

That worked out great except for one thing… I’d like to make two of the squares or more appear at the same time. This does it to one.

Is there any easier way to copy paste this into the next 50+ layers and set a value that the position is increased by? ie the next layer will be between 96 and 192.

LOL!!!

I accidentally turned all of the layers to adjustment layers… That just might do it.

The layer is supposed to show up between 0 and 96. It doesnt work for some reason.I move the null and nothing happens.

Now that I figured that one out I tried to make another one that was based off the position X of a null but I cant figure out where I went wrong:

opacityController = thisComp.layer("mover").transform.position[0];

if ((opacityController > 0) & (opacityController < 96)) {

100;
}else{ 0; }

Actually, I figured it out…

Each Square is linked to a null. The position of the null is driven by an expression that is fed the output of sound keys. The square has an expression that links the the nulls position, if that nulls position is < (x) then the opacity =100, else 0. Now, the comp with grid of squares overlays the rendered out file and then I just change the transfer mode to simulate each individual squares saturation changing to the linked audio file. Was this to crazy? make sense? Motion Designer / DJ / Father http://www.lukaszpason.com

Before your response I figures it out!! The first code worked and all I had to do was precomp and link to the comp it was playing on. Thank you Dan!!

Am I still placing his on the “Transition Complete” property inside each square? Or am I linking the transition complete to this? Sorry being such a noob. I just can’t wrap my brain around code.

And what if I want all the squares to animate at the same time?

Does it matter that I am using shape layers?
